Mike and Robyn Kravitz met in high school in their hometown of Nashville, Tennessee. [GO PREDATORS and ANCHOR DOWN VANDY!] Robyn went to Tennessee Tech University and joined the Zeta Tau Alpha fraternity. Mike went to the United States Air Force Academy. After Mike completed his first two years, Robyn moved out to Colorado Springs and graduated from University of Colorado. When Mike graduated in 2009, they got married and moved to his first assignment in Columbus, Mississippi to become a pilot. However after only a few months, they quickly realized the flying community wasn't for them and Mike requested a career change. He was allowed to become a Munitions Maintenance Officer. And that led them to receiving orders to Minot Air Force Base.
After Mike and Robyn had Ellie, they started to explore becoming foster parents. Robyn has always wanted to be a foster parent so after one year in Minot and one biological child, they started the process to get licensed through PATH. We just believe there are so many kids out there that need a good home, why have a ton of our kids when we can help the kids who are already here.
After being licensed for three months, they got our first full time placement and he has been with them every day since then. Mike and Robyn say they have learned so much and have been down roads they have never dreamed. Fostering has been one of the best decisions they have ever made because it has challenged them, forced them to evaluate ourselves and opened their eyes to what they are each capable of doing. Mike and Roby say foster care has tested their limits financially and emotionally because we want these kids to have the best life we can possibly give them. They don’t regret one single decision.
Mike and Robyn send so many thanks to PATH for bringing these amazing kids, awesome social workers and awe-inspiring professionals into their lives. Each one of them is like a piece of the puzzle and, for us, the puzzle is a wonderful, rewarding journey.
